saic tolerant green snap bean recently introduced by the U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture. Similar in type to Tendergreen and 
Longreen, however is heavier yielder than either of these older 
sorts. Pods—round, thick, 6 to 6% inches in length, tender 
and free of fibers. It is not resistant to Halo blight, but steps 
are being taken to breed blight resistance in the variety. 
* TOPCROP—51 days. Home garden, market and canning. A_ .20 30 50 32.00 
new All America Gold Medal winner, developed by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is resistant to common 
bean Mosaic and New York 15 Mosaic. It is an early ma- 
turing variety being ready for harvest two to three days earlier 
than Tendergreen. Pods are 5% to 6 inches long, round, 
medium dark green in color, straight to slightly curved, free 
of strings and low in fiber, making for excellent quality. It 
is heavy yielding due to disease resistance. Because of its 
fleshy pods seed crops of this variety run lower in germination 
than other sorts. In practice, plants in a thin stand tend to 
stool out and produce bumper crops. Another characteristic 
of this variety is its tendency to produce the crop in a concen- . 
trated picking period. A home gardener will find it better 
to spread maturity by successive plantings to overcome this 
objection.
